Frequently Asked Questions
+ Is my baby too old for this book?
The strategies in this book are intended for babies before they begin to sit up independently. They are most effective for reversing head flattening when used in the first 4 months of life, but can be helpful for stopping or slowing head flattening for babies 4-6 months
+ Will this book tell me if I should get a helmet for my baby?
While I can't speak specifically to individual cases, I devote a chapter at the end of the book to helping parents work through the tough decision of whether or not to treat their baby's head shape with a helmet. Spoiler alert: there are no clear-cut answers but there are many, many factors to consider - some that you likely haven't thought of.
